The Minister of Information, Culture and Tourism, Muammar Al-Eryani, condemned the bombing of Aden airport on Wednesday, calling on the international community to include the Houthi militia on the list of terrorist groups.

Al-Eryani said, in a tweet on his official account on Twitter: "We call on the international community and organizations concerned with journalists to condemn this terrorist crime and show solidarity with the victims and work to include the Houthi militia among terrorist groups and place them on black lists targeting journalists, bring their leadership to trial and prosecute them for war crimes."

In another tweet, he confirmed that "preliminary information indicates that the treacherous and cowardly terrorist incident that targeted Aden airport caused a martyr and about 10 wounded journalists who came to cover the government's arrival at Aden airport."

Al-Eryani stressed that "targeting airports, facilities and civilian objects is the behavior of the terrorist Houthi militia, and its criminal record of targeting journalists is replete with hundreds of crimes. Dozens of journalist martyrs fell at their hands, and their crimes against this segment exceeded what ISIS and Al Qaeda committed, according to international statistics."
